I'll be taking my two teenage kids and my 8 yr old on a picnic this Sunday to a local canyon. I'm sort of bored (and they probably are too) with sandwiches, chips, fruit and drinks. Does anyone have some creative ideas for picnics that kids would like? Thanks in advance!

My kids and grandkids love picnics..We even do them in the back yard by the pool They all love fried chicken and lots of fruit, and little muffins with pancetta baked in or scones..Plenty of lemonade and cookies for dessert..The older ones love cold deviled eggs and potato salad,the chicken and fruit. Not exotic but hey it's a picnickadesma

Well, I don’t have kids myself, but I know how picky they can be. Plus, you have to think of food that will keep with little to no refrigeration. Taking a cooler packed with ice (or dry ice) helps.

My frist thought as well was fried chicken potato salad, and cole slaw.

How about a wrap of some kind? Maybe fried chicken fingers wrapped in a tortilla or pita bread with lettuce, tomato, ranch dressing, etc, (assuming the kids like lettuce and tomato). Maybe a pasta salad or deviled eggs?

I have an 10 & 12 year old and for the last few years is too take some tortilla wraps (home made if we have time) and different fillings - cold meats, sausages, salads etc based on what we like. We then make up our parcels to our own taste when we have the picnic. Add some cake and fruit and we have a grand time,

The sides are up to you, but for a picnic salad wraps (have the dressing to add when you get there) are easy and can have all kinds of goodies in them, and can be toped with ranch or ceasar or anyone's favorite.
